State Board of Education adopts consent agenda, revokes multiple educator permits and adopts 2026–27 meeting schedule
Summary
The State Board of Education approved the consent agenda and a series of personnel resolutions (items 10–20), adopting most revocations by roll call. One case (item 16) was postponed; two items recorded a recusal and abstention. The board also adopted its 2026–27 meeting calendar and advanced candidates for superintendent interviews.
The State Board of Education met in open session and approved its consent agenda (items 1–9) and a slate of personnel actions on a series of roll-call votes.
The board adopted the consent agenda unanimously, 14–0. It then considered personnel resolutions listed as items 10 through 20. For each contested personnel matter the board took a motion, called the roll and recorded outcomes: items 10, 11, 12, 15, 17, 18 and 20 passed 14–0. Item 13 (denial of the applications of Viro and Finney) and item 14 (revocation of Tyreke Glasgow’s permit) were recorded as passing by a vote of 13–0 with one abstention; the transcript records advising board member Charlotte McGuire as recusing herself and abstaining on those matters. Item 19 (denial of Darien Taylor’s application) likewise passed 13–0 with one abstention. Item 16 (the resolution regarding Ryan Manor) was postponed to the board’s next regularly scheduled meeting after a motion to postpone carried 14–0.
The board chair framed the meeting as part of the board’s constitutionally designated duties, noting Article VI, Section 4 of the Ohio Constitution delegates superintendent appointment authority to the board. Vice President Fetter moved the board into executive session to consider personnel and legal matters pursuant to Ohio Revised Code section 121.22(g)(1) and (g)(3); the motion passed on roll call before the personnel votes were taken.
Members who made or seconded specific motions were recorded in the transcript when provided (for example, Member Johnson moved item 10). The clerk called the roll for each vote and announced the tallies.
The board also considered a miscellaneous resolution to adopt its 2026–27 meeting dates (item 21). Member Florey questioned whether August or February should be the off month; counsel noted the board has a statutory obligation to set its meeting dates by spring. After brief discussion the schedule was adopted, 14–0.
